Sherwood Anderson should be more well-known, May 20 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Egg and Other Stories (Penguin Twentieth Century Classics) (Paperback)
I love reading short stories, and I think this is the best collection of stories I've ever read. I hope I get these titles right: I think especially notable are A Death In The Woods, The Corn Planting, Brother Death, The Other Woman, and The Masterpiece. There's not a bad story in here, and there are like 30 stories. I find Anderson's simple prose to be enchanting. His characterization is his strongest point; eighty years ago, he wrote characters to whom I can relate and understand today.
